Is SrCl2 ionic or covalent?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether SrCl2 is an ionic or covalent compound. To address this, we need to review the properties of the elements involved (strontium and chlorine) and their ability to form bonds. Typically, strontium, a metal, and chlorine, a non-metal, form ionic bonds due to the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal.
Answer
Ionic
The final answer is ionic
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is ionic
More Information
Strontium chloride (SrCl2) is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electrons from strontium (a metal) to chlorine (a nonmetal), resulting in the formation of Sr²⁺ and Cl⁻ ions.
